2014 Map of Four Peaks

About this map

The Mazatzal Mountains define the character of this central Arizona landscape, dominated by the iconic skyline of Four Peaks and its highest point, Browns Peak. The ridgeline serves as a natural divide, with the Gila Co Maricopa Co boundary following the crest through Alder Saddle and Black Bear Saddle. This 2014 survey documents the path of the Arizona National Scenic Trail as it traverses the high country of the Tonto National Forest, connecting remote landmarks like Lone Pine Saddle and Buckhorn Ridge. For the local historian or researcher, the map details a complex network of springs and canyons, including Amethyst Spring, Cienega Spring, and Cane Spring Canyon, which have long been essential water sources in this arid environment.
